Recall, Tunisia eliminated the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the round of 16 with a thin 1-0 .
Perhaps, yesterday’s defeat to Burkina may bring smile back to Nigerian faces who have been let down since Eagles’ elimination.
The 5x Africa Cup of Nations winners will therefore, face the winner between Egypt and Morocco as today’s result may decide.
Burkina who have also secured a place in the semi-final will be heading on either Senegal or Equatorial Guinea after their quarter-final clash this night.
